CHFT has an annual leave carry over buy-back scheme for leave carried into this year 2023/2024.

Annual leave carried forward into this leave year beginning 1st April and ending next 31st March 2024, can be bought back by the Trust. Payments will be made on the next earliest pay date after submitting an application. Please submit your application before Tuesday, 5th December to receive payment in your December.

A reminder too that you should think carefully before submitting an application. Annual leave entitlements exist to provide colleagues with time away from the workplace and assist with their wellbeing. The Trust maintains its support for colleagues taking time off through annual leave.

Colleagues wishing to submit an application for buy back will need to complete the application template available. 

See the annual leave buy back scheme intranet page for more information, or email AskHR@cht.nhs.uk if you have any questions.
